0.62 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Italy

From the cool blue shallows of the Mediterranean Sea to your jewelry box, this red coral has traveled a story that answers to centuries of Italian tradition and care. Harvested from the storied reefs along the Italian coastline, this 0.62 carat round coral speaks of slow marine growth, artisanal collection, and a heritage that has long valued Corallium for its deep, living hue. The gem measures 6.02 x 6.03 x 2.49 mm, and its cabochon cut honors the organic beauty of the material by presenting a smooth, domed surface that captures light in a soft, inner glow. Opaque and vivid in color intensity, with an excellent polish and no enhancement, this coral preserves every nuance of its natural origin, offering a warmth and presence that modern synthetics cannot replicate. Italy has shaped how the world sees red coral, through centuries of jewelry making, religious ornament, and regional lore, and that provenance is part of what elevates this piece, making it a small but potent symbol of place and time.

When skilled hands at The Natural Gemstone Company brought this specimen to its final form, the aim was to reveal the coral rather than alter it, to set a stage where its color and texture could be read clearly against gold, silver, or platinum. The cabochon was cut to precise dimensions that maximize its visual impact while retaining substantial material, allowing designers and collectors to imagine it set as the luminous center of a ring, a delicate pendant, or an accent in bespoke pieces. The absence of enhancement adds measurable value, because what you see is the coral as the sea made it, shaped by nature and refined by human craft, with a polish that invites touch. Owning a coral with Italian origin carries cultural significance, a connection to Mediterranean artisanship, and a lineage that enhances rarity and desirability, it is a piece that tells a story every time it catches the light, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind that story, offering this coral to those who seek an authentic, historically resonant gem that is ready to be set into a new chapter of its journey.
